Hey - different profile picture.?ÿ But this one looks like a younger version. Are you in denial about your age?

Sounds to me that it means you don't have to be licensed to do those plats. It doesn't seem to remove the license requirement for marking the boundary...

In case anyone is interested, here is the site: A friend's son welded the mounting adapter, which is a very heavy aluminum structure: ?ÿ

I probably shouldn't have voted because I'm not in the business, but did because I've done Polaris shots for projects in the past. My most recent one ...

You are going to need at least a small battery to get through interruptions by shadows such as a bird landing on the panel or an animal standing nearb...

While you do want long backsights for your angles in order to minimize the angle error due to centering, I don't see how ppm, which is usually used to...

Some good suggestions from Paul, but I would want it to be a US C&GS crew, not USGS, and the station and azimuth marks were probably both placed w...

No, he posted this at the bottom of page 1 of this thread: Sir it's a open Traverse which starts on the known point and end on unknown point after 4 k...

Yep.?ÿ There was a story on the news last week where someone killed TWO people in their own hunting party.

How do you figure that the longest lines are the most accurate??ÿ Maybe by parts per million, but definitely not in terms of feet or cm of error.

The sum of the angles is known, fixed by the laws of geometry.?ÿ This is information that it seems reasonable to me should be taken into account.?ÿ Ev...

So, inquiring minds want to know how this turned out.?ÿ Did you find the stones?

Agreed, that is a useful practice. I use my LS program for non-redundant solutions and to do COGO. But this sidetrack will only confuse someone who is...

Then you can see the error of closure. If error is small you probably do not have a blunder. Then you can adjust the closed traverse using any standar...

Working with Dave and a lot of the scenery would be great. The fires and mudslides not so much.?ÿ Laws out there a lot more restrictive and bureacrati...

Marking paint is a lot less hazardous if you take an empty Pringles chips can and shorten it a bit to make a cover for the paint. You can even carry i...

While there are certainly concerns here about the lack of checking, strength of geometric figure is not among them here.?ÿ When you are measuring angl...
